Wow… I have probably performed this song 100 times or more in casinos… I don’t think I have heard it since then. Thanks for posting it!

I got a really bad cold. I guess from sitting in too much AC

I have a theory about the temp span from outside to inside being too high is a problem. I personally think more than 30 degrees difference is a bad idea. The problem there is, it is 115 or more outside here lately... following my theory, that means 85 inside??? What in the holly hell of all fucktarians would make me want to have it be that hot inside my house????

It isn't easy being me.

Birthday wishes go out to Mr. Joe Satriani, July 15, 1956, 68 years young, still recording and touring. I've been a fan of his for many years, love his playing. Too many good songs to choose from, but I'll go with this one, back when he still had hair.

Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie

I had completely forgotten about Basia (who?). This was a big hit back in the 80s (saying "back in the 80s" makes it sound like an eternity ago) and I'm not aware of any other hits she had though I could be wrong about that. Anyways, I was at a used book store that's close to me that also has tons of vinyl records, CDs and cassettes. One of the cassettes I saw was by Basia and that's what made me recall the song. I can't remember the last time I ever heard this on the radio, she appears to have been forgotten which is a shame as she has such a beautiful voice.

Basia - Time and Tide

I was turned onto this song years ago by the most important person in my life (so far)... so cool!!!!

I guess kids just wanna hip hop these days Sounding like my parents: "Turn down that noise and play some good music!"

Birthday wishes to Martha Reeves, born this day, July 18, 1941, 83 years young. Most (all?) of her success was with the Vandellas when they had a bunch of hits. Lots of songs to choose from but I think I like this one best.

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas- Nowhere to Run

Right? I was just watching a Rick Beato video a few days ago, and he was pointing out the stats... music just isn't nearly as important today as it used to be. Very weird stuff.
